Vidya Balan will play Indira Gandhi in new movie

"Indira: India's Most Powerful Prime Minister" was pitched by the publishers to the film and screen community at the Word to Screen Market 2017, organized by the Jio MAMI Mumbai Film Festival. The Tumhari Sulu actor said, "I am happy to have acquired the rights to Sagarika Ghose's Indira because I have always wanted to play Indira Gandhi. It will take a long time anyway", Vidya told Mirror, while Sagarika added, "I am sure Vidya will be bravura on screen as Indira".

Vidya Balan turns producer with the adaptation of Sagarika Ghose's book on the late politician In July 2014, National Awardwinning actress Vidya Balan had admitted to Mirror that she had as many as six biopics on her platter but hadn't signed any of them. The film draws inspiration from journalist turned author Sagarika Ghoses book "Indira: India's Most Powerful Prime Minister".

Though it got polarising reviews, Ghose's book, drawn from the work of several historians and biographers serves as a primer for the new generation.

Divided into eight chapters, the book explores various junctures of Mrs Gandhi's life.

Over the years, Vidya Balan has proved her varied range of craft on the big screen. In the flick, Vidya essayed the role of a middle-class woman who struggles to make ends meet for her family of three.
